Chapter 248: The Frightened Eight Great Shanxi Merchants

The Eight Great Shanxi Merchants are the Wang Family, Jin Family, Fan Family, Wang Family, Liang Family, Tian Family, Zhai Family, and Huang Family.

These eight Han traitorous wealthy families all live in the same place.

This place is called Pingyao City.

Logically speaking, eight huge forces would not reside in the same place.

However, these eight families are different.

They mainly don’t make money locally; they all engage in smuggling military supplies and provisions to the Manchu Qing. This business is too big; even with all eight families combined, they can’t finish all the volume, so there’s no competition at all.

With no competition, their relationships are naturally good.

Moreover, they are also doing treasonous business, so there’s some pressure.

Let’s put it this way, most of the officials in the Great Ming are trash, only knowing how to be corrupt and can be bought off by them. But there are still a few officials with conscience, and those with a conscience, once they investigate, can find out about them.

For them to face such risks alone is still too great. With eight families joining forces, they can mobilize countless high-ranking officials of the Great Ming to kill any official who wants to investigate their treason.

It can be said that these Eight Great Shanxi Merchants, these eight families who sell out their country, are truly of one mind and heart.

The relationship between these eight families is genuinely good.

At this time, several people from the Fan Family who had escaped from the sea rushed into the ancient city of Pingyao.

Then, the other seven families of the Shanxi Merchants all learned of this news.

And then, the seven families of the Shanxi Merchants were shocked.

Fan Yongdou, Land Immortal Realm Third Level.

Peng Feng, not even a hundred years old, was able to kill Fan Yongdou of the Land Immortal Realm Third Level!

This is just too unbelievably strong!

In the eyes of the seven families of the Shanxi Merchants, Peng Feng was just the sect leader of a middle-level sect in the south, at most a Human Immortal Realm.

But now, it seems they were completely wrong.

This Peng Feng is unexpectedly powerful!

And then, the seven families of the Shanxi Merchants were all discussing one matter—that is, Peng Feng killed Fan Yongdou, saying he was going to kill those who sell out their country through smuggling.

And undoubtedly, everyone present had participated in selling out their country.

Will Peng Feng come to kill them?

The seven families of the Shanxi Merchants were all discussing this.

The heads of the seven families, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa, all had solemn expressions.

“I feel that since Peng Feng has made a move against Fan Yongdou, he might not spare us.” Wang Dengku, the head of the Wang Family, said with a heavy face, “We should still make preparations earlier.”

“Yes.” Jin Liangyu, the head of the Jin Family, nodded.

“There’s no need to be so defensive, right?” Tian Shenglan, the head of the Tian Family, said somewhat dismissively, “Our ancient city of Pingyao has so many Land Immortal Realm experts, does he dare to come?”

“It’s better to make some preparations early.” Huang Yunfa said.

Just at this moment, someone suddenly came to report that they had seen Peng Feng flying directly over, heading straight towards the ancient city of Pingyao.

This made everyone present jump in fright.

“It seems that Peng Feng has really come.” Huang Yunfa, the head of the Huang Family, said, “Since that’s the case, let’s talk about it. Most of the family heads present are only at the Land Immortal Realm First to Third Level. And they were only able to reach that level by using countless resources. Their combat power is not necessarily high for their level.”

“Peng Feng can easily kill Fan Yongdou. It’s not difficult for him to easily kill us one-on-one.”

“We can only join forces and form a formation to fight Peng Feng. Our eight families have the Positive and Negative Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Universe Formation, which can be used to deal with Peng Feng together.”

“But, the head of the Fan Family, Fan Yongdou, is already dead. We’re short of one person.” Tian Shenglan, the head of the Tian Family, said.

“Let’s ask for outside help. Coincidentally, Xie Changfa of the Great Desert, who is nearby, has a cultivation base of the Land Immortal Realm Fifth Level.

I am currently trying to win him over, and it’s almost done.

If we bring him into the Positive and Negative Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Universe Formation, the power of our eight-person formation will be even stronger than when Fan Yongdou was here.”

“Good.”

“This time, with our eight Land Immortal Realm experts joining forces, we will definitely make sure Peng Feng will come and never return.”

“And also let the world know that we, the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants, are not to be trifled with.” The family heads of the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants were all filled with killing intent.

……

◈◈◈

Peng Feng gently waved his fan.

He flew to outside the ancient city of Pingyao.

Pingyao City is quite prosperous.

Inside, it is brightly lit and bustling.

It is not inferior to Jiangnan at all.

Right now, the wealth here is even more than in Jiangnan.

After all, the wealthy class here, the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants, are doing treasonous business.

No business is more profitable than selling out one’s country.

It could be seen that the city was divided into eight directions.

In each direction, there was a huge mansion, each mansion covering an area of several hundred acres. Obviously, these correspond to the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants.

At this time, the people in the ancient city of Pingyao also sensed that Peng Feng had arrived.

And then,

Swoosh,

Swoosh,

Swoosh,

Eight figures flew out directly.

Among these eight people,

Some were pot-bellied, such as Wang Dengku and Jin Liangyu, the family heads of the Wang and Jin Families among the eight traitorous families, who looked like three-hundred-pound fat men when they smiled.

Some were extremely thin, looking like they didn’t have any bones in their entire bodies, such as Wang Dayu, the head of the Wang Family among the eight traitorous families. Yes, that’s right, among the eight traitorous families of the Shanxi Merchants, there are two Wang Families.

Some had an immortal demeanor, looking quite like immortals, such as Liang Jiabin and Tian Shenglan, the family heads of the Liang and Tian Families among the eight traitorous families.

And some were dressed as Confucian scholars, looking handsome and mature, namely Zhai Tang and Huang Yunfa, the family heads of the Zhai and Huang Families among the eight traitorous families.

There was also one person whose whole body exuded a dry aura. This person was Xie Changfa of the Great Desert, who was invited by the seven families to help. This person was skilled in sand-type magic and was also very powerful.

Eight Land Immortal Realm experts surrounded Peng Feng.

Wang Dengku, the head of the Wang Family, coldly shouted, “Peng Feng, I didn’t expect you would actually dare to come seeking death. Today, we will make sure you die.”

Huang Yunfa, the head of the Huang Family, also couldn’t help but sneer, “Peng Feng, anyone who dares to offend our Eight Great Shanxi Merchants must die!”

The other family heads all made similar remarks, looking like they wanted to grind Peng Feng into dust.

◈◈◈

Peng Feng also couldn’t help but coldly shout, “You eight families, for your own selfish gains, betrayed your own country, continuously selling military supplies, food, and ironware to the Manchu Qing.

I’m quite curious, are you really human?

You are even worse than dogs.

Even dogs know loyalty.

If the Manchu Qing enter the pass, how many people will die at their hands because of you? What is your responsibility?

You are just a bunch of dog bastards.

Today, I will kill all of you dog bastards.”

“Not only will I kill you, but I will also kill all of your family members. Your entire families are guilty!!!”

“Those who dare to sell out their country will have their families exterminated!!!”

“I will make sure you have no descendants!!!”

Peng Feng was filled with killing intent.

There’s no need to show mercy to traitors.

Only, kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
